In our Create a Windows 7 system image article we created a system image, using the built in Backup and Restore function of Windows 7, to create a backup of your computer that will allow you to completely recover your files, pictures, email, and settings should you experience a computer “disaster”. Seems all well and good, but what do you do with this image when disaster strikes? Well, let’s get down to the nitty gritty and see how we can restore your computer to the exact state it was in when the image was created! Restoring a Windows 7 System Image. There are two scenarios that you might find yourself in: 1) Windows boots, but something is way wrong. 2) Windows won’t boot and something is really way wrong. Both can be restored, but the methods are a tad bit different. Restoring a system image to a bootable computer. Click the Windows Orb to open the Start Menu. Type Backup in the search box and press Enter . Wait, don’t you already have a backup? Isn’t this redundant? Well, Windows wants to backup critical files that may have changed since your system image was created. This is to ensure you don’t lose any important documents or files. It’s a wise decision to perform this backup! The window will change to allow you to choose what to backup. I suggest leaving the setting as the default “Let Windows Choose”. At this point your computer will begin rebooting. If your system image is stored on an external hard drive make sure it is connected to the computer at this point. It will not start normally, but will appear as a black screen with white lettering as it loads a special recovery program instead of the normal Windows. This is also the point where restoring a bootable and not bootable computer become the same, so you’re probably wondering why you didn’t just follow the instructions below in the first place! Well, by completing the above you have created a fresh backup of just your important files and documents, so there is less chance anything will be lost. Continue to Step #2 below to complete the recovery. Restoring a system image to a computer that won’t boot. Insert the recovery CD/DVD you made earlier into your CD/DVD drive and turn the computer power on. If you need a refresher or haven’t created one you can find instructions in the Create a Windows 7 System Image article. As the computer boots you will see a black screen and the words Windows is loading files along with a progress meter. Your computer and any connected drives will be scanned for system image files. Once the scan is complete you will see a window with the newest system image selected. A progress window will show how much of the process is complete. Be patient. This will take a while. If you haven’t already, you should read the article explaining how to create a system image in Windows 7. You may also be interested in the article explaining how to mount your image as a virtual hard drive allowing you to restore one or many files without returning the computer to an earlier state. About The Author. David Hartsock. 2 thoughts on “How to completely restore a Windows 7 computer using a system image” You didn’t show how to recover your computer using a system image that was stored on dvd’s,you showed how to restore only from an image stored on external hard drive. I need to know how to recover from a system image that was saved on dvd’s. David It’s nice to have the info for restoring image with plenty of images. It is clear and easy to follow. Unfornately, in step 3, I could not locate the the system image with the check box of “Select a system image” checked . That is I could not locate my 2TB portable hard drive where the system image was stored. Would you kindly tell me how to locate it? Thank you. Downgrade Windows 10 Pro to Home without Reinstall.

C2 Security Evaluation vs. Certification Setting up a C2-compliant System Abstract Microsoft® Windows NT® operating system provides a rich set of security features. However, the default out-of-the-box configuration is highly relaxed, especially on the Workstation product. This is because the operating system is sold as a shrink-wrapped product with an assumption that an average customer may not want to worry about a highly restrained but secure system on their desktop. This assumption has changed over the years as Windows NT gains popularity largely because of its security features. Microsoft is investigating a better secured default configuration for future releases. In the meantime, this white paper talks about various security issues with respect to configuring all Windows NT version 4.0 OS products for a highly secure computing environment.
